Aw, that’s a cute idea to stitch the doodle! To answer your question about apps, I’ve used the stitch fiddle website to make simple patterns with a few colors and backstitching. Floss cross is another site you could check out. I think the pixel art app you used might be similar to them since it has a similar grid.
This is all great advice! I will add a second vote for taking care of your hands (and ergonomics in general). I don’t have wrist issues, but I have an old shoulder injury that flairs up if I don’t take breaks, mind my posture, and stretch.
Ah… Sadly no. That’s why is my low stakes resolution. :) I work from home and I’ve gotten very lazy. I just roll from my bedroom to the office, down to the kitchen, and repeat.
Santa (aka my credit card) brought me an instant pot for Christmas. Do you have pressure and times for the potatoes? I didn’t even think of cooking them in there and then mashing.
